Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: Connect Asia
Published: October 2003
Product Code: R330-0027
Description
The Future Belongs to Asian Manufacturers
Judging by the customer experience of mobile consumers, the future belongs to the Asian mobile manufacturer. Despite the long established leadership of Nokia and Ericsson, Samsung and Panasonic lead the ratings of the Asian customer experience as supported by APRG's in-depth regional user satisfaction survey on mobile handsets.

Key findings from the research
- Samsung has taken the hearts and minds of many Asian consumers and is ranked the #1 mobile brand in our Customer Experience survey.
- Nokia's navigational interface is still the people's favorite and is frequently cited as the easiest to use.
- Few camera phones have left the users overly impressed. Sagem Samsung and Sharp are the exceptions.
- Samsung users have rated the Samsung website as having the most value-add.
- XELIBRI, despite a heavy marketing campaign, has not delivered on the hype. Most users do not intend to repurchase the brand when they buy their next mobile phone.
- Motorola users, once the most loyal, are finding it hard to stick with the brand.

Why buy this report
The typical Asian mobile subscriber owns a wireless phone model for 14 months, compared to 18 months in 2001. Considering such a high replacement rate, it is an imperative for manufacturers to build brand loyalty, which can only be developed from a continually positive customer experience.
